Yeah, Buy Me reruns are on every weeknight at 7:30 p.m. The show has its own thread at TWOP, and the posters there seem to be referring to recently aired eps. But they're talking about American channels and schedules, so I don't know when they're watching. Apparently it's on a lot.
I'm glad this thread was resurrected because, now with the real estate market going bust, it'll be interesting to see the Buy Me loons in action. Typical scenario:
- Impulsively buy a second house
- Put current house up for sale and base price on what is needed to pay for second house, not what its actual value it.
- Argue when agent says it's over-priced and/or needs repairs or updates.
- Do some repairs or updates in a half-assed manner, complaining all the way about the agent.
- Receive a fair offer on the house, considering the comps in the neighbourhood and condition of the house.
- Reject offer because it's too low for what is wanted (not what it's worth).
- Complain about paying two mortgages.
- Complain when neighbour puts house on market and sells within a week.
- Complain when agent suggests lowering the price.
- Dump agent.
- Try "For Sale By Owner" with little success.
- Get new agent and lower price.
- Finally sell house for what the first agent recommended all along.
- Act smug.
